Moskowitz EXPOSES Kash Patel's Biggest Epstein Flip Flop — 4 Minutes That Left Congress Stunned

[0:02] and yesterday in an answer to senator kennedy you said the fbi is not in possession of any [0:07] criminal evidence that epstein trafficked girls to anyone but himself so according to your testimony [0:13] yesterday and in this committee according to the evidence the fbi has the number of names on the [0:19] list are zero zero the index has been released and the number of people involved in that trafficking [0:25] operation were charged um in 2008 other than epstein and jelaine maxwell your testimony in [0:32] the senate here is that according to the evidence you have the number of other names is zero that [0:39] were charged based on credible evidence well who are the other names give me the other names that [0:43] weren't charged we are not releasing the names of anyone because the department of justice never [0:49] does that of anyone that didn't have any credible information okay let me attack them with a stack of [0:54] documents in hand moscowicz stood up and hit cash patel with a devastating question that exposed his [1:00] shocking ignorance of the very constitution he swore to defend the room went dead silent the man who [1:06] once boasted he would be the strongest defender of due process in fbi history was suddenly told point [1:11] blank that he hadn't even read the most basic protection in the bill of rights and instead of [1:16] owning it patel deflected and hid behind technicalities what came next was even worse and [1:22] it raises serious questions about whether the bureau under patel is still in the business of [1:27] defending the constitution or simply protecting power it's disgusting uh there are lots of names [1:34] lots of co-conspirators uh and they're trafficking girls all across the world um i mean it's exactly as [1:41] people thought it was it's that uh and and and more unfortunately what you're about to see next will [1:48] make that question even more disturbing i i want to take your attention back a second okay breaking news cash [1:56] patel is nominated to be the fbi director dan bongino is nominated to be the number two at the fbi [2:02] maga celebrates rejoices bells are ringing out the team patel bongino that sought out every podcast [2:12] microphone to talk about the epstein list the names are finally going to get released it begins they [2:18] produce white binders phase one with the podcasters this is not actually one of them of course i made this [2:24] up your name's on it right and the names are going to come out pam bondi says the list is on her desk [2:31] then a memo comes out all of a sudden says there's no list oh no no phase two phase two binders never [2:38] happen you said the conspiracy theories around epstein just aren't true they never have been that [2:45] timeline isn't commentary it's public record and when you lay it out date by date director patel's cold zero [2:51] names answer stops looking like a simple legal fact and starts looking like the final chapter of a [2:56] promise that collapsed in slow motion before taking office cash patel and dan bongino built massive [3:02] audiences by weaponizing the epstein scandal they turned it into a rallying cry promising a full [3:07] accounting of the client list flight logs and the powerful men who allegedly escaped justice for years [3:13] once confirmed the administration cashed in fast in late february 2025 attorney general pam [3:20] bondi told fox news the epstein client list was sitting on her desk the doj may be releasing the [3:27] list of jeffrey epstein's clients will that really happen it's sitting on my desk right now to review [3:34] that's been a directive by president trump i'm reviewing that i'm reviewing jfk files mlk files days [3:41] later conservative influencers were handed white binders stamped the epstein files phase one inside the [3:47] west wing staged as a historic moment of transparency by july 2025 a joint doj fbi memo declared there was [3:55] no incriminating client list no credible evidence of blackmail and no need for further disclosure [4:02] the very promise patel bondi and bongino had built their reputations on was quietly buried [4:07] internal fallout was reportedly ugly with bongino furious over the lack of transparency senate democrats [4:14] led by dick durbin sent sharp oversight letters demanding answers even as recently as february [4:20] 2026 watchdogs filed complaints alleging the doj improperly narrowed releases and shielded officials [4:27] own communications including patel's we've reviewed all the information and the american public is [4:31] going to get as much as we can release this is the clearest evidence yet of cash patel's blatant hypocrisy [4:37] when he and his allies were outside the system they treated epstein's network as proof of a protected [4:42] elite class now that he holds the most powerful law enforcement position in the country the same [4:48] scandal has been reduced to a narrow technicality zero additional names with credible evidence this [4:54] double standard is dangerous against political opponents the fbi under patel shows no hesitation [5:01] but in one of the most horrific sex trafficking cases in modern history backed by court documents [5:07] flight logs and victim testimonies pointing to a far wider circle they suddenly adopt the strictest [5:13] most cautious stance victims don't need dry legal thresholds they need truth and justice this is [5:19] where the story stops being about numbers on a page and starts being about a signature the [5:23] president himself calls fake let me move forward the president has you've seen the picture of the [5:29] woman's body with the writing and the president's signature the president says that's not his [5:33] okay president says it's not his the republican colleagues say it's not his the administration say [5:37] it's not his will you be opening up an investigation into the epstein estate for putting out a fake [5:42] document with the president's signature linking him to the world's largest pedophile ring we'll be [5:47] opening that investigation into that on what basis on what basis they literally put out a fake [5:52] document according to the president with a fake signature it's a forgery of the president of the [5:57] united states signature that's the basis sure i'll do it okay i look forward to that investigation [6:02] up oh am i over um thank you mr chairman i appreciate your you're doing this time is expired [6:11] sure i'll do it four words delivered with almost casual indifference might be the single most revealing [6:16] moment in this entire hearing because in that instant cash patel showed exactly who he's become [6:22] the man who once positioned himself as the fearless outsider ready to burn down the deep state [6:26] now sits at the very center of power and when handed a direct request to investigate a potential [6:32] forgery tied to the president of the united states his response wasn't urgency it was a shrug dressed [6:38] up as cooperation let's be precise about what moskowitz actually asked for he wasn't demanding patel [6:44] speculate about guilt he was asking him to investigate a potential federal crime forgery of a sitting [6:50] president's own signature on a document tying him to jeffrey epstein's 50th birthday book a document [6:56] the president himself his own republican colleagues and his own administration all publicly call fake [7:03] that's not a partisan gotcha question that's an open and shut predicate for exactly the kind of [7:08] inquiry patel's bureau is legally obligated to pursue and patel's first instinct wasn't to say yes [7:14] it was to ask on what basis as if the forgery of a sitting president's signature tied to the most [7:20] notorious trafficking case in a generation somehow needed further justification before it warranted a look [7:26] here's the document he was stalling on in july 2025 the wall street journal reported that epstein's [7:32] associates had compiled a scrapbook for his 50th birthday and inside it sat a lewd letter bearing [7:38] trump's name framed by a hand-drawn outline of a woman's body closing with a line about sharing a [7:43] wonderful secret trump denied it instantly called the story fake and sued the journal for at least 20 [7:49] billion dollars but watch how the denial evolved first it wasn't his language then it wasn't his drawing [7:57] then according to rolling stone trump floated the idea that someone else may have forged his signature [8:02] entirely white house press secretary caroline levitt even said the administration would support [8:08] a forensic handwriting analysis to settle it once and for all that analysis effectively already [8:13] happened just not from the white house independent comparisons by the wall street journal and the new [8:17] york times cross-referencing decades of trump's personal correspondence found the disputed signature [8:23] strikingly consistent with his handwriting from that era if there are forgeries or forgers out there [8:30] i think we should investigate it and in fact this document is 22 years old so you're telling me [8:37] someone 22 years ago went back to the future and forged his signature when he was a democrat cnn's own [8:46] review turned up matching examples including a 1996 donation letter and a 1999 condolence note carrying [8:55] the same distinctive strokes none of that settles the matter beyond all doubt but it does mean the [9:00] forgery defense patel was just asked to investigate is at minimum seriously contested by multiple [9:06] independent newsrooms using the president's own decades-old handwriting as the benchmark and that's [9:11] exactly why on what basis is such a damning answer this is a director who has spent the last year [9:17] building an entire public narrative around aggressively chasing document fraud leaks and conspiracies [9:23] yet the one moment a member of congress hands him a direct specific evidence-backed request tied to [9:29] the most powerful man in the country his first instinct isn't curiosity it's resistance only when [9:36] moskowitz spelled it out in blunt unmistakable terms did patel offer that hurried almost dismissive sure [9:43] i'll do it less a commitment than a placeholder the kind of promise politicians toss out when the clock [9:48] is already running down and they're counting on the follow-up never coming moskowitz seemed to sense [9:53] it too closing with a pointed i look forward to that investigation as his time expired a line that [9:58] reads less like courtesy and more like a marker being laid down for later and here's the thing there's [10:05] already a pattern of exactly what happens after markers like that get laid down reporting from [10:09] bloomberg law and multiple outlets covering turnover inside the bureau's leadership has documented a [10:14] recurring dynamic under patel uncomfortable questions get a verbal concession in the hearing room [10:20] and then quietly vanish the moment the cameras stop rolling three career fbi agents have already [10:25] filed suit alleging retaliation a 27-year veteran was reportedly pushed out over scrutiny that had [10:31] nothing to do with his actual conduct no follow-up no timeline no public update since the gavel dropped [10:37] on this hearing if history is any indicator this investigation risks becoming one more promise [10:43] that ages quietly into nothing convicted sex trafficker galane maxwell says she will testify [10:50] openly to lawmakers about her longtime associate jeffrey epstein if president trump grants her clemency [10:56] maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence she testified virtually today to the house [11:02] oversight committee pleading the fifth refusing to answer questions something committee chairman james [11:07] comer called quote very disappointing her appearance and bargain for clemency comes as lawmakers were [11:13] today allowed to review an unredacted version of the epstein files they saw the names of at least [11:20] six individuals six men uh names who uh that that were redacted uh that they expressed some concern [11:28] about including one uh that they indicated could be high up in a foreign government so obviously [11:35] we're expecting to hear from the attorney general later this week before the house judiciary committee [11:40] they say the intent to ask the attorney general why some of those names were redacted but that is [11:45] something that we have heard from uh several lawmakers who have had an opportunity to view [11:51] these unredacted documents uh why it appears that some names uh were uh redacted uh in the case of [12:00] the release of these files so obviously more to come uh but certainly uh many revelations coming [12:06] on this first day after lawmakers having that opportunity to view them and how are members of [12:11] congress reacting to galane maxwell's appearance today and her request for clemency in exchange for [12:16] testimony well it was expected although the chair of the committee james comber expressed disappointment [12:23] that galane maxwell did invoke the fifth amendment obviously many lawmakers were prepared to ask her [12:29] questions and certainly see her as a central figure in terms of jeffrey epstein and you know his sex [12:37] trafficking ring so there were a lot of questions that lawmakers wanted to get at but were unable to [12:43] since she invoked the fifth so for that reason obviously this was a very short deposition it was [12:49] a virtual deposition uh and some lawmakers too expressing concern about this request for clemency [12:55] both chair comer said he did not believe that galane maxwell should have any type of immunity especially [13:01] after uh you know hearing from some survivors who requested that and also you know many democrats as [13:07] well felt that this was really just an opportunity for maxwell and her attorney to try to plead their [13:12] case for clemency when you know they feel this should have been an opportunity to get at the facts of [13:17] the case compare all of this to the fire patel once breathed when he had zero power back then every [13:24] podcast appearance was a declaration of war on elite impunity every interview framed epstein as the [13:29] ultimate proof of a two-tiered justice system one set of rules for the connected another for everyone else [13:35] he didn't just promise transparency he promised reckoning the names the flights the island visits the [13:41] enablers all finally dragged into daylight now that he actually controls the machinery capable of [13:48] delivering that reckoning it's been reduced to the narrowest possible legal interpretation zero [13:53] additional names and a forgery investigation offered only after he was cornered with no room left to [13:58] dodge this transformation isn't unique to patel and that's almost the scarier part it's a recurring [14:05] washington story outsiders arrive promising to drain the swamp and expose corruption once inside they [14:12] discover the swamp has excellent lawyers powerful friends and the ability to make life very difficult [14:17] for anyone who actually follows through the rhetoric stays fiery in public the action goes cautious and [14:24] narrow behind closed doors what makes patel's version so striking is the speed of it the same man who once [14:30] demanded the full client list now presides over an fbi that has effectively declared the list doesn't [14:35] meaningfully exist the same man who once railed against powerful men escaping justice now offers a [14:40] tepid hedge your bets sure when asked to investigate whether a document links the sitting president to [14:45] epstein put all three moments from this hearing side by side and a single uncomfortable pattern comes [14:51] into focus zero additional names despite years of promises there would be many a collapsed binder rollout [14:59] that even his own deputy reportedly fought over internally and a forgery investigation offered not with [15:04] urgency but with a question about jurisdiction any one of these on its own might be explained away as [15:10] caution or process or legal precision together they form something much harder to defend the damage runs [15:17] deeper than one hearing it betrays the victims first many of whom have spent years fighting for [15:22] recognition that they weren't ensnared by one man but by a system of enablers that court documents flight [15:27] logs and their own testimony have repeatedly pointed toward when the director of the fbi declares there's no [15:34] credible evidence of others involved he isn't just stating a legal threshold he's telling every [15:39] survivor their experience only counts if it fits a convenient narrative it corrodes institutional trust [15:45] second because an agency that shows no hesitation chasing political opponents but suddenly discovers [15:50] the virtues of narrow legalism the moment the powerful are at risk invites an obvious question [15:55] what else is being handled this carefully the epstein files were never just about one dead man and his crimes [16:01] they were always a test of whether america's institutions can still confront power when [16:05] it's inconvenient to do so so far under cash patel that test is being failed in real time not [16:11] necessarily because of what he's found but because of what he seems unwilling to aggressively pursue [16:16] the american people were promised the truth what they're getting hearing after hearing is a director [16:22] who says yes on camera and delivers zero everywhere else whether this pattern is institutional [16:28] incompetence or something closer to protection is exactly the question congress and now you are left [16:33] holding drop your read on it in the comments below and stay tuned because if the democracy defenders [16:39] fund complaint from earlier this year is any indication this file is far from closed
